Abstract

An antenna structure includes a radiation element, a grounding element, a feeding point, and a connection element. The radiation element includes a first radiator and a second radiator. The second radiator includes a first end close to a first end of the first radiator. The grounding element is coupled to the first end of the second radiator. The feeding point is coupled to the first end of the first radiator and is close to the first end of the second radiator. The connection element is coupled between the feeding point and the grounding element. The radiation element, the grounding element, the feeding point, and the connection element are constructed by metal wire.
